I just wanted to thank you all for being here.

I felt compelled to say a few words. I appreciate everyone who comments, likes, shares, or just takes a couple of minutes to see what I’m going on about. I’d like to think I have the best audience in the TTRPG sphere.

Regardless of how you found me or where you see my posts, thank you for being here.

Tomorrow, we begin the task of getting back on a regular posting schedule. Lots and lots of TTRPG reviews are coming. I have lots of Dragonbane ideas brewing. Twilight Sword is also on my mind in terms of content creation. Gates of Krystalia has a new Kickstarter coming soon for Lumina. I think this new world book is going to be a strong contender in the emerging TTJRPG market this year. Even though I’m not presently running Gates, I still like going through it for ideas to borrow for my other games.

I’ve also set the intention to get in at least one YouTube video per week. I’m going to try the podcasting format for some of it. I’ll admit to being camera shy, but I don’t want to go to the AI voiceover. Too many channels have already done that. I’m just posting for fun. I’ve given up the AdSense monetization idea. If it happens someday, woohoo. If not, it’s no big deal.

I’d rather be focusing on my DriveThruRPG projects when it comes to money. I’m learning Affinity 3/Affinity by Canva. My layouts are a lot prettier now, but it is a ton of work figuring all this stuff out. I miss MS Publisher already. Say what you want about Microsoft, at least their UI is easy to follow. Affinity can do a lot more, but it takes twice as long to do the basic tasks Publisher could handle. Like I said, it’s lots of learning. Once I get some templates built up, it will probably go a lot faster.

Just thought I’d check in. I wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. Thank you again for being here.

I say it every year, but I think 2026 bears repeating it. This year I intend to write more, read more, and discuss cool TTRPGs as well as supplements. Most of all, let’s just have more fun. Let’s explore. Let’s save the kingdom from the evil warlord. Let’s discuss all the fun stuff in gaming that we love.

With the world in the state it finds itself in today, please be kind. Please be considerate to one another even if we don’t agree. Lastly, please pursue the thing that brings you the most joy without harm to others. Thank you!
